-16 Inch Pillow Form


NOTES:

-You can use a smaller or larger hook to make this square depending on your tension. I wouldn’t use anything larger than an I-5.5mm Crochet Hook though.

-The finished square measures 16 inches, but you can stop at any round to make this smaller, or you can continue on to make it larger just repeating the last few rounds.

-This square is worked from the center outward and then small appliques are made to sew on (the appliques are optional)

-This project used about 600 yards of yarn

-The backside of the pillow was a solid granny square type of square, but you can make rows or any other backing to make yours the way you want.

-You could make a bunch of these squares and make a throw blanket and then make the pillow as a matching set!
